The only boost you can do for your mining are +5 gloves

And yes, you lose half upon failure. Combine all ore into the smallest pieces and smelt 2 at a time for best results.

hammers do nothing for mining, only smithy.

You cannot smelt colored ore unless you have the skill required to mine it in the first place.

Hope that helped G-Dog

A 50% chance of success ( for example ) is still a 50% chance of success, whether you use a large stack of ore or break it down into smaller for many attempts.

Breaking it into smaller stacks will potentially yeild a little more ore, but will take all day... speed vs. risk, you decide...

example:

100 ore in one stack. Fail, zero smelted and 50 ore remain.

100 ore in stacks of 2 with 50% success rate ( for example ) thats 50 tries with 25 failures, leaving you with 25 ore remaining and 50 smelted.

If you succeed on the first try with the stack of 100, you gain 100% of the ore attempted. If you break it into stacks of 2, the best outcome is about 62.5% of the ore attempted ( using above example ).

100% for success on first attempt.
62.5% for breaking into stacks of 2.
50% for success on second attempt of whole stack.
25% for success on third attempt.

Little known cheapsuit fact, you have a 100% chance to smelt any type of ore successfully if you have 100 camping and use a campfire to smelt at the entrance of any of the virtue dungeons.
